While writing the previous email, I remembered that someone from compaq once
told me that they don't market linux for small businesses, they sell them
NT, and keep Linux marketing for deal where another Unix is competing.
I can see why.
Linux probably has better chance within companies that depend on their
servers so badly that they can't go down, and are willing to hire good
people for this purpose.
Long time ago there was that "Linux Myths" article from MS press, one of the
things they said that depending on Linux may prove to be more expansive
although the OS is free.
Perhaps they had a point? Perhaps Linux can't be marketed as cheap NT, but
only as cheap Unix.
Maybe Linux should be marketed as depandable NT.
Thanks,
Chen.
